Answer 2

The correct answers are the following.

1.- The correct answer is B) making and enforcing laws.

A shared responsibility between state governments and the federal government is making and enforcing laws.

2.-The correct answer is C) the state legislatures.

What ratifies a proposed amendment to the Constitution is the state legislatures.

The federal and states government function under the system of checks and balances in which none of the branches is more powerful than the other. Both governments have to create legislation and enforce laws.

After an amendment to the United States Constitution is approved in Congress, it has to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. This means that it needs the ratification of 38 states.
